Have you ever had to actually shoot someone with your gun arm?

  That question made Rock a bit uneasy, so uneasy that his Mega Buster went back inside his armor and out with his other hand. Azure L.E.D. eyes now dart away from the other, his head turned a bit. Guilt.                                                     Guilt was all he could feel.

The look on his face should say enough, but if not, then maybe his hand going over to his arm and holding it while his back is turned should say plenty without him even needing to open his mouth. But he eventually had to address—the other did ask a question, and he should actually answer it instead of staying silent.  “I only did it because of my protection and to help them. I wouldn't harm someone because I want to. I hate hurting robots. Not only that, but I hate their suffering just as much. They suffer, and I suffer with them.                                                  No robot deserves to suffer. No robot deserves to be controlled by someone who only cares to get back at me. I just…                         Want to help them. And since they resort to violence. I have to also. But it's the last thing I ever want.” His grip tightens on his arm, his eyes shut, and he could feel his body weight get heavier as his body slumps down a tad—his back fully turned on the mammal. 

“… Sorry.” Words covered in such synthetic tears, his voice even cracking a tad, “I shouldn't… Get so emotional. But—you need to understand that hurting others, people, robots—it's all the same.                                                                                                I don't -- Mean -- too. I have no given choice, sir. If I had the option each time. I just want to talk them out of it. But words don't carry like a firearm does, now do they?  Not to them. Ever.” 

[nikoderiko]

❝ Hey, hey. ❞ Niko didn't mean to hit a nerve, but he clearly, unambiguously and thoroughly did.

 ❝ It's ok if they left you no other choice. ❞

❝ If a peaceful option can work, of course it's always the right choice. But if the peaceful options don't work and you've expended every other approach, you're fine. ❞

Sheesh... if robots could cry, Mega Man would probably be bawling right now.

Still, curiosity killed the cat, Niko felt bad he even asked.

❝ I'm sorry, I didn't mean to trigger you. ❞ Niko pats the robot on the back gently, wrapping an arm around Mega Man's shoulders. The sorta "half hug" people did with strangers when they didn't know how comfortable they were with physical contact.

This was a gesture people understood universally, but without a proper sense of touch Niko was afraid the robot was experiencing whatever the 'touch version of a language barrier' is.

⸻A body language barrier?

@nikoderiko cont.

Move aside, AJ Styles- there's a new shampoo commercial icon in the mix.

"Well nice," they say, in admiration. They like custom pieces immensely, as well as limited collabs. Nothing works quite as well as them, and their own closet is a riot of colors, street styles, and a bevvy of articles they've picked up during their globe-hopping music career.

"I think it's, ehm, it's important to know your colors." Says the blue guy. The blue guy fully understands, and Niko has the gift of fur to add to that color palette, too. "Don't suppose you'd be w-willing to share your tailor's information?"

[nikoderiko]

 Being a fuzzball does have it's perks, —yes.

Benefits both cosmetic, and ones that weren't immediately obvious.

❝ His name's Ivan, he actually suggested the whole lightning bolt thing. ❞ Niko showed off the vertical collar of his jacket, branded with 2 identical lightning bolts.

❝ Ever since I was a kid, my fur's been able to generate an abnormal amount of static electricity. ❞ Sorta like the whole: 'rubbing your socks against a carpet to carry a charge to others' thing.

❝ Nothing too deadly, but I can hold onto it or disperse it at will, and if I don't want to carry it at all, I just shake it out of my fur. ❞ Honestly, if Niko had never mentioned this, it was likely 2D would never know he had this ability, —it's as if Niko was letting 2D in on a secret, as most wouldn't immediately assume Niko's lightning bolt actually had meaning outside of being unambiguously cool.

[nikoderiko]

@mgaman continued from here.     

 

Right, no touching, —completely understood. ❝ ..... ❞

❝ Boy, that thing looks serious. ❞ Niko commented, understandably so since he was basically looking at a firearm.

❝ Have you ever had to actually shoot someone with your gun arm? ❞

The mongoose had to admit, the arm cannon had the sleek and streamlined shininess of a plastic toy (metal in this case), but one look down the barrel told him the Mega Buster wasn't something to be messed with.

 ❝ Nice to meet you too, Mega Man. ❞ ❝ My name's Niko. ❞

[nikoderiko]

"I like your hair. You've got a nice sense of style- where'd you get that jacket?"

@niratias   

❝ Thanks. ❞ Niko flicked his singular swooping bang as if he was in a L'Oréal commercial, the rest of his brown hair following through in it's own subtle ways.

Niko had a lot of chocolate-brown hair, but only the main bang ever really got in the way of his eyes the way long hair does.

❝ This jacket? ❞ It's the foundation of his look, emblazoned with Niko's signature lightning bolt ⚡. The same one on his and Luna's blimp.

❝ Custom-made, I had it tailored for me, —pretty cool right? . ❞ It's literally one of a kind.

Finished this digital drawing of Nikoderiko! This was a request from Telegram, and I really enjoyed working on it. I've never played it, but the game looks like a lot of fun and is in my wishlist now! I really enjoyed drawing this one and practicing with shading. Hope you all like it!

{{ @nikoderiko }}

Danessa, the doctor of Wonderwood was in the forest with her bestie, Sprint. The female was looking for items she needed to collect a few things. Danessa is a healer and uses magic to heal anyone who needs it. The Deer was singing happily while the weather was warm and pleasant. Sprint walked beside her humming the song Danessa was singing.

Danessa held up a list ad s making sure she wrote down everything. Her ears started twitching at a faint noise, a noise she never heard of. Her head tilted up to see a blimp and carefully watched the machine "Sprint, let's go investigate" she said.

Sprint nodded and as the Deer duo followed the blimp and saw it stopped. Both of them hide in the bushes to see who is on that blimp and if she needs to take action.

[nikoderiko]

The blimp (emblazoned with a lightning bolt on both sides of it's massive helium balloon) would be more accurately called an airship, able to comfortably house it's two mongoose pilots with the luxury of a family-sized boat that went across the sea.

Spacious and airy, the treasure hunters's ride had successfully went off without a hitch. —Their ship had now landed.

The adventurous mongoose, Nikoderiko, had been hanging off the side of the blimp taking in his first impressions of the beauty of this new land from as up close and personal as he possibly could while his best friend Luna steered the ship, soon also deploying the ladder for herself and Niko to climb down.

Grinning and now fully grounded with his feet on the grass, the cheerful young mongoose found everything here visually fascinating, the trees sprouted bright purple leaves, and the wildlife seemed actively friendly for once instead of being actively hostile.

❝ —Luna, what's the hold up? You gotta come see this place. ❞ Niko's tail did a little wag despite the fact he isn't a dog.

Niko (and Luna) hadn't come here completely blind however, they had a treasure map, but Niko was too distracted with sight seeing to look down at it at the moment.

Niko started walking, lightly, casually making his way forward ahead of Luna who was still on the ship.

[thecajungator]

"But I'm Nico...." He muttered in reply. Well, this was new. He wasn't used to anyone having a name remotely similar to his, past maybe something like Nicolas.

"Treasure hunta' huh? You get much success wit' that?" He was genuinely curious.

"As fo' the wata', there's a riva' couple blocks thatta' way." He pointed over his shoulder.

[nikoderiko]

❝ —Oh? ❞ This is awkward.

❝ Well, my full name is Nikoderiko, you can just call me that I guess. ❞ His friends usually only call him that if they're angry at him. But it seemed like a necessary sacrifice in this case, otherwise this would get very confusing between the two of them.

Niko was very excited to answer the cat's next question, as he has had tons of success as a treasure hunter and had plenty of interesting stories of swashbuckling adventure to tell as a result.

❝ Oh yeah, me and Luna get to travel the whole world on our blimp and it's a ton of fun! ❞ Niko described it in a juvenile way that an excited teen might, the thrill-seeking mongoose looked towards where the cat had pointed. ❝ Thanks Nico! Is there something else I can call you by? Y'know... in case I get lost and I need to find you. ❞

[sillymuses]

"I'm not that violent." Saranoia huffed in response as she crossed her arms over her chest. Of course, she's going to leave out the many restraining orders filed against her....and the multiple times she's been arrested...what were they talking about again? She'd gotten so distracted with her own temper blinding her.

"I have plenty of healthy coping methods like..." A finger taps against her chin as she ponders. "..Like..." Wow, this is harder than she thought. "...Throwing myself into my work?"

[nikoderiko]

❝ Well, as long as you're not hurting anyone. ❞ Niko said, shrugging his shoulders.

❝ I'll remember not to get on your bad side. ❞ The mongoose said in a surprisingly jaded tone for his usual cheerful demeanor, —seems like Saranoia is getting on his nerves already.

 ❝ Wait, —what exactly do you do for a living? ❞

While he's probably crossed the line into being "nosy" at this point, making character judgments on her and now prying into her work life, he doubted he'd ever get another opportunity to find out what demons do all day.

 —Seriously, what on earth do demons do with their time?

[sillymuses]

@nikoderiko

"I don't have a temper problem! It's everyone else who thinks it's funny to PUSH MY BUTTONS!" And the end results usually aren't pretty considering she's a demon sorceress.

"This is why I don't leave my home much. Dealing with morons all the time can bring on a serious headache! And leave my throat feeling parched."

[nikoderiko]

Sheesh... considering how angry sounding that long-winded speech was, the concept of irony was lost on her.

❝ Y'know, there's healthier, less violent ways to express your anger right lady? ❞ Niko was at most a young adult and even he knew that, Saranoia had no excuse aside from the fact that being a demon possibly made you more susceptible to negative vices.

[thecajungator]

@nikoderiko liked for a starter!

"Uh......who're you suppos' t' be?" This person didn't look like the kind of people Nico was used to seeing.

"Ain' neva' seen yo' type 'round here, friend. What's ya name?"

[nikoderiko]

❝ I'm Niko. ❞ The mongoose answered with confidence, unbeknownst to how confusing this would soon get. ❝ Talented, charming and humble treasure hunter! ❞

❝ You wouldn't happen to know where the closest body of water around here is would ya? Me and Luna are going fishing. ❞ —Luna was Niko's treasure hunting partner, but above all she was his best friend. She wasn't here at the moment but would soon be here with they're fishing rods, lures, and a net to keep all the fish they catch.

[nikoderiko]

 @charllatan

❝ —Wow Mr. Moon, I hope you don't end up missing Clay's actual party. ❞ Niko had heard Buster had hit his head on the way to the party.

❝ Me and Luna are heading there now, we ended up getting tickets. ❞

Niko would've asked how his head was feeling or if he got injured when the stage prop fell on his head, but they both didn't have a lot of time to make it to Calloway's Halloween party, so he didn't want to ask a question that was too involved.

[kimjimagery]

I'm excited for the game "Nikoderiko: The Magical World" but I won't be able to buy it right away due to finical issues but here a fan art I did.
